Orozco Taller Textil Experimental has roots extending back to 1930, when Manuel Orozco Jiménez founded the original Textiles Orozco. Nearly 80 years later, in 2009, grandson Alfredo Hernández Orozco revitalized the project with an intent to provide a collaborative space for designers & fellow artisans to share ideas & materials in the creation of utilitarian textiles. Don Alfredo’s deep passion for sharing knowledge & ideas is rooted in the belief that our advancement as a human collective is made greater through support rather than competition.
